You dress in your adorable uniform, you approach me with your smiling toothless grin, and you know.

You know.Yes, you know very well that I will be unable to resist your little girl charms. I will inevitably buy a box or seven, just because you are cute. Forget about the fact that the Thin Mints are delish, and the Samoas taste di-vine crumbled up on vanilla ice cream. When you approach me with that box of cookies, and ask for my help, I will be transported back to when I was a girl scout (before I quit because they wouldn't let me tent camp like the boys). I will remember how hard it was for me to approach an adult and hock my baked goods. And when that memory comes rushing back, I am a goner.

And you know it.

You can smell the sale like a dog can smell fear.

I am but a victim in your entrepreneurial endeavors, and frankly, I may as well just set up a direct deposit into your cookie bank account.

I am that much of a lock.

So, please forgive me if I advert my eyes from your eager gaze. And, please don't take offense when I close the curtains and hide in the dark as you ring my bell. I am doing it for my own good.

LOL!!! This could have just as easily been written by my husband!!! He's a sucker for ANY little girl, but one with cookies too??? A forgone conclusion, lol! But he can eat all the junk he wants and still look hot. It sucks!

Stopping by from SITS. I live in a neighborhood of lots of little Girl Scouts..They all come knocking on my door. I try to resist but...no can't do it. I end up with a freezer full of cookies. Love this post.

Oh Annie, another make me laugh post. I just love you. Girl Scout goodies, oh so yummy...and so not good for me...but oh so yummy. It's a good thing I can't afford more then a couple of boxes this year but still how long will they last, even in the freezer. Who likes frozen cookies anyways.......me,me,me....it doesn't matter, chocolate is chocolate cold or warm.Take care Annie and have a great day today. God Bless!!!

Yes pull those curtains and assume the tornado postion of sitting in the hall with your head down away from windows. This way those devilish little girls can not tempt you with cookies. I understand - really I do. May they not grace my porch with their deliciousness in a box. tammy

I was never a Girl Scout myself, but I still succumb every year. They accosted me at my grocery store last week. I've already polished off a box os Samosas! Thin Mints are 1/2 gone. Ugh! So hard to resist!

About Me

Annie and hubs

I split my time between my super hubby and ultimate sports guy, Paul, my 3 kiddies and the rest of my daily insanity. I am a former teacher, full time mom, part time tutor to 7-12 graders, and once upon a time personal trainer. I love bacon, krispy kreme doughnuts, and cold beer (but not all at the same time). I use a sharpie marker on my grey hairs, and I paint only my first two toes when I am wearing peep toe pumps. What can I say? My life is crazy every single day, but every single day, I am blessed.

Ab

My fashionista oldest daughter, Ab, is a joy! At 10, she loves to do crafts, read, and create her own designs. We love to watch Project Runway and What Not to Wear together. She loves to put together outfits for me (and for herself), and she got a sewing machine for Christmas.

E

My Ethan, at 7, is a ball of energy. In his short life, he has destroyed cell phones, toilets, and a TV. He loves all sports, like his Daddy, but specifically likes the Steelers. He plays T-ball and soccer, and in the morning, he snuggles up to me and tells me that he loves me more than bacon. What could be better than that?

Ellerie

My curly haired devil, Ellerie, is 4 years old, and full of personality. She loves to strip down to her birthday suit and run outside in the backyard. She makes lovely artwork all over herself and my walls, and she likes to tell us that we are acting like ogres, a la Shrek. She brings constant smiles and love to our crazy crew with her sloppy wet kisses. She is a love!
